Author in BI
Jon Mooallem of Bainbridge Island will launch his new book “Serious Face” at Eagle Harbor Book Co. on Winslow Way May 17.
The New York Times Magazine writer at large shares 13 hopeful, heartbreaking and profound essays from a master storyteller (Ed Yong) in the book. Publisher’s Weekly says he puts “a human face on larger issues such as climate change and conservation.”
The thread that combines the essays is that it’s “our vulnerability, not our victories, that connect us.”
In Serious Face he brings to life the desperate hopes and urgent fears of people he meets, telling stories with empathy, humor, insight and kindness, a news release says. “Can we learn to love the people we really are, behind the serious faces we show the world?”
